Chiefs rookie Jaylen Watson after 99-yard TD vs. Chargers: 'I woke up knowing I was going to get a pick' start exploring

This offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs devoted seven of their 10 draft picks to the defensive side of the ball. 

Among the last of those picks was cornerback Jaylen Watson, whom they selected out of Washington State with a seventh-round pick, No. 243 overall. 

Watson wasn't the first or even second cornerback the Chiefs brought in on draft day. 

They took Trent McDuffie in the first round and Joshua Williams in the fourth. But Watson managed to make a significant impact against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thurs

after he got an opportunity to start the game following an injury McDuffie suffered in Week 1. 

With the game tied early in the fourth quarter, Watson stepped in front of a Justin Herbert pass intended for tight end Gerald Everett 

and picked it off, then took it 99 yards to the house to give Kansas City a lead it would never relinquish.
